Operating principle
The supply voltage is connected to terminals A1-A2. The current to be monitored is connected to terminals B1, B2, B3 and C. See diagram below. Hysteresis is adjustable between 5 and 30 %: for overcurrent h = (IS1 - IS2) / IS1, for undercurrent h = (IS2 - IS1) / IS1. A measuring cycle lasts only 80 ms, which allows rapid detection of changes in current. Relay set for overcurrent detection (RM4-JA01 or selector on > for model RM4-JA3i). If the current is greater than the setting threshold IS1, the output relay is energised with or without a time delay, depending on the model. When the current returns to a value IS2 below the threshold, depending on the hysteresis setting, the relay is instantaneously de-energised. Relay set for undercurrent detection (selector on <, model RM4-JA3i only). If the current is less than the threshold setting IS1, the output relay is energised with or without a time delay, depending on the model. When the current returns to a value IS2 above the threshold, depending on the hysteresis setting, the relay is instantaneously de-energised. Function diagrams: Overcurrent detection

Adjustments: i Adjustment of function and timing range, switch 4 : - determine whether overcurrent or undercurrent detection is required; in this example, overcurrent. - determine the timing range, immediately greater than the time required; in this example, 10 s. - position switch 4 according to the above 2 criteria; in this example, switch 4 on > 10. i Fine adjustment of time delay: Depending on the max. range setting displayed at 4 (in this example: 10 s) use potentiometer 3 to set the required time delay as a % of value 4. In this example, the required time = 5 s therefore : t x 100 = 5 x 100 = 50 % 4 10 Set the time delay potentiometer 3 to 50.

i Set the current threshold setting potentiometer 1 as a percentage of the maximum value of the measuring range selected when wiring. In this example: wiring B3-C, max. value of measuring range = 15 A, therefore: Setting 1 = 13 x 100 = 87 % 15 Set the current threshold setting potentiometer 1 to 87.

i Set the hysteresis 2 as a % of the threshold value; in this example: Setting 2 = 13 - 11 = 15.4 % 13 Set the hysteresis 2 to 15 (13 - 11 = 2 i.e. 15.4 % of the current to be measured).

Extension of the measuring range d.c. or a.c. supply Simply connect a resistor Rs to terminals B1-C (or B2, B3-C) on the measuring input. The relay energisation threshold will be towards the middle of the setting potentiometer range if the value of Rs is in the region of: Rs = Ri where : Ri Internal resistance of input B1-C.

Operating principle
The supply voltage is connected to terminals A1-A2. The voltage to be monitored is connected to terminals B1, B2 or B3 and C. Hysteresis is adjustable between 5 and 30 %: for overvoltage h = (US1 - US2) / US1, for undervoltage h = (US2 - US1) / US1. A measurement cycle lasts only 80 ms, which allows rapid detection of changes in voltage. Relays set for overvoltage detection (RM4-UA0i or selector on > for model RM4-UA3i): If the voltage is greater than the threshold setting US1, the output relay is energised, with or without a time delay. When the voltage returns to a value US2 below the threshold, depending on the hysteresis setting, the relay is instantaneously de-energised. Relays set for undervoltage detection (selector on <, model RM4-UA3i only): If the voltage is less than the threshold setting US1, the output relay is energised, with or without a time delay. When the voltage returns to a value US2 above the threshold, depending on the hysteresis setting, the relay is de-energised. Function diagrams Overvoltage control

Voltage measurement relays RM4-UA Setting-up

Example of undervoltage to be measured Undervoltage threshold to be measured: 12 V a. Time delay of the output relay: 20 s. Reset voltage threshold: 13.2 V. Supply voltage: 230 V c 60 Hz. i Product selected RM4-UA32M Connection of voltage to be measured B2-C (5 to 50 V)

R U

1 2 3 4

3
Adjustments: i Adjustment of function and timing range, switch 4: - determine the timing range, immediately greater than the time required, in this example 30 s. - determine whether overvoltage or undervoltage detection is required, in this example undervoltage. - position switch 4 according to the above 2 criteria, in this example, switch 4 on < 30. i Fine adjustment of time delay: Depending on the max. range setting displayed at 4 (in this example: 30 s) use potentiometer 3 to set the required time delay as a % of value 4. In this example, the required time = 20 s therefore: Set the time delay potentiometer 3 to 66. t x 100 = 20 x 100 = 66 % 4 30 i Set the voltage threshold setting potentiometer 1 as a percentage of the maximum value of the measuring range selected when wiring. In this example: wiring B2-C, max. value of measuring range = 50 V, therefore: Setting 1 = 12 x 100 = 24 % 50 Set the voltage threshold setting potentiometer 1 to 24.

i Set the hysteresis 2 as a % of the threshold value; in this example: Setting 2 = 13.2 - 12 = 10 % 12 Set the hysteresis 2 to 10.

Extension of the measuring range

d.c. or a.c. supply Simply connect an additional resistor (Rs) in series with the measuring input B3 or C. If the value of Rs is in the region of: Rs = Ri ( U - 1) where: Ri Internal resistance of input B3-C. Um Maximum value of threshold setting range. Um U Voltage threshold to be measured. The tripping threshold of the relay will be towards the maximum graduation on the threshold setting potentiometer. In general, the power consumed by the resistor does not exceed 0.5 W. For a.c. voltages, it is also possible to use a voltage transformer.

Operating principle
The supply voltage to be monitored is connected to terminals L1, L2, L3 of the product. There is no need to provide a separate power supply for RM4-T relays; they are self-powered by terminals L1, L2, L3. i Monitoring rotational direction of phases and detection of complete failure of one of more of the phases (RM4-T all models) When terminals L1, L2, L3 are energised, the relay is energised and the yellow LED comes on if the rotational direction of phases is correct and if all 3 phases are present. If one or more of the phases have failed or if the rotational direction is incorrect, the relay is not energised at switchon. In normal operation (no fault) the relay is energised; it de-energises instantaneously in the event of failure of one or more of the phases (any time delay set is not active on these faults). In the event of failure or absence of a single phase, a voltage greater than the detection threshold ( 130 V on RM4-TG, undervoltage threshold setting on RM4-TU and RM4-TR) can be generated back through the control circuit, thus preventing detection of the phase failure. In this case, we recommend the use of RM4-TA relays. The absence of a phase is signalled, on RM4-TR and RM4-TA, by illumination of led P. i Overvoltage and undervoltage detection (RM4-TR): In normal operation, the relay is energised and LEDs U and R are illuminated. If the average of the 3 voltages between phases goes outside the range to be monitored, the output relay is deenergised: - overvoltage: the Red LED > U illuminates. - undervoltage: the Red LED < U illuminates. When the supply returns towards its rated value, the relay is re-energised according to the hysteresis value (5%) and the corresponding red LED goes out. A selector switch allows selection of an adjustable time delay from 0.1 s to 10 s. With function transient over or under voltages are not taken into account. With function all variations above or below are taken into account and re-energisation of the relay is delayed. In all cases, in order to be detected, the duration of the overvoltage or undervoltage must be greater than the measuring cycle time (80 ms). Function diagram (RM4-TR31, RM4-TR32)

i Undervoltage detection only (RM4-TU) In normal operation, the output relay is energised and the yellow LED is illuminated.

t: fixed time delay = 550 ms i Detection of phase asymmetry (RM4-TA) In normal operation, the output relay is energised and the yellow and green LEDs are illuminated. In the event of an asymmetry fault, after a time delay set between 0.1 s and 10 s (on RM4-TA3 only), the output relay is de-energised, the yellow LED goes out and red LED A illuminates (RM4-TA3i only). The relay re-energises when the asymmetry value measured is less than half of the asymmetry value setting (hysteresis). Function diagram

They control the actuation of pumps or valves to regulate levels, and are also suitable for protecting submersible pumps against running empty, or protecting tanks from overflow. They can also be used to control dosing of liquids in mixing processes and to protect heating elements in the event of non immersion. They have a transparent, hinged flap on their front face to prevent any accidental alternation of the settings. This flap can be directly sealed. i Compatible liquids: - spring, town, industrial and sea water, - metallic, acid or basic salt solutions, - liquid fertilizers, - non concentrated alcohol (< 40 %), - liquids in the food processing industry: milk, beer, coffee, etc. i Non-compatible liquids: - chemically pure water, - fuels, liquid gasses (inflammable), - oil, concentrated alcohol (> 40 %), - ethylene, glycol, paraffin, varnish and paints.

Liquid level control relays Presentation (continued)

Operating principle
The operating principle is based on a change in the resistance measured between immersed or non immersed electrodes. Low resistance between electrodes: liquid present. High resistance between electrodes: no liquid present. The electrodes may be replaced by other sensors or probes which transmit values representing variations in resistance. The a.c. measuring voltage, which is < 30 V and galvanically insulated from the supply and contact circuits, ensures safe use and the absence of any electrolysis phenomena. RM4-L relays may be used: i For detection of a liquid level, operating with 2 electrodes, one reference electrode and one high level electrode, or an LA9-RM201 probe. Example: prevention of tank overflow. i For regulating a liquid level between a minimum and a maximum level, operating with 3 electrodes, or an LA9-RM201 probe. Example: water tower. The state of the output relay can be configured: i Empty function : the output relay is energised when high level electrode B2 is immersed and is de-energised when low level electrode B3 is dry (1). i Fill function : the output relay is energised when the low level electrode is dry and is de-energised when the high level electrode is immersed (1). On model RM4-LA32, a time delay can be set on energisation or de-energisation of the output relay in order to raise the maximum level (function ) or to lower the minimum level (function ). This function also makes it possible to avoid pulsing of the output relay (wave effect) when operating with 2 electrodes.

Setting-up i Select the empty /fill function according to the sequence to be performed. i If necessary, set potentiometer 1 to minimum (time delay). i Set potentiometer 2 to minimum; on RM4-LA select the lowest sensitivity range using potentiometer 4 (5 or 5 ). i With all the electrodes immersed, turn the sensitivity potentiometer towards maximum until the relay is energised ( function) or de-energised ( function), then exceed the threshold by about 10 % to compensate for variation in the supply voltage. If the relay is not able to energise, a higher sensitivity scale must be used (selector 4 on RM4-LA32) or relay RM4-LG must be replaced by an RM4-LA32 relay and the adjustment procedure must be started again. i Then check that the relay de-energises ( function) or energises ( function) as soon as electrodes B3 and B2 are out of the liquid. If the relay does not de-energise, select a lower sensitivity scale. i The electrode connection point must be protected against corrosion by sticking or sealing. In areas where thunderstorms are likely to occur, measures must also be taken to protect the electrode lines. Note: the high level can be raised by means of the adjustable time delay from 0.1 to 10 seconds with function . The low level can be lowered by means of this same time delay with function . Probe LA9-RM201 This probe is of the suspended type. It is coaxial, i.e. in addition to the normal (central) electrode, the stainless steel skirt can also act as earth (reference) electrode, which means that there is no need to install a separate reference probe. In this way, for controlling one level, only one probe is required instead of 2; for controlling 2 levels, only 2 probes are required instead of 3. The connecting cable must be of the 2-conductor type, with common cylindrical PVC sheath, having a maximum diameter of 6.3 mm. The skirt also acts as a calming chamber, so avoiding inaccuracy due to an agitated surface of the liquid (waves). Maximum operating temperature: 100 C. Probe LA9-RM201 can also be fixed on various containers (cisterns, tanks,...) by means of a bracket or other suitable fixing device. Connection examples Control by electrodes Control by probes
